Own your slice of History, in the Charles Cheney Mansion. Built by Charles Cheney but meticulously finished by his son, Frank, and designed by renowned architect Hammatt Billings, this home was often visited by Mark Twain and other prominent persons in the early 1900's. Quite literally a competition between Frank Cheney and Mark Twain to have the most grandiose house, you can now form your own opinion! This home is the most true to its time Cheney Mansion, as it has been lovingly cared for by its current owners and decorated to match the mid 1800's. While you will fall in love with the unmatched character of the home, the 5+ acres, the "great lawn", the nine garage bays, and koi pond, all add to the allure. Modern convenience is not barren here either, with natural gas furnaces + boiler, all maintained + working fireplaces, a large kitchen with modern appliances, and another suite on the third floor featuring an updated kitchen and apartment. The estate itself boasts 8 bedrooms spread over three sprawling floors with 5.5 lovely baths. The hardwood has been waxed, not sanded, to shine but still preserve the original flooring wherever possible. The endless built-ins, bookcases, trim work and wainscot tie this house together as it truly deserves. City utilities provide the house with additional convenience, meanwhile the house is located at near the Center point of Boston & New York, all while sitting in walking distance to the vibrant Manchester Street Center.
